When
Doris came to University
of California at Riverside (UCR) as a transfer student in
1962 to complete her final year of college, she was then 42
years old. She had had a varied career behind her. She was educated
at Columbia
University, both for secondary school and undergraduate
work. She trained for the theater and had ten years of professional
experience as a photographer’s model and actress in commercial
short films. She continued to be a published poet, became a
poetry editor, was active in radio publicity and public relations.
The short courses she taught on self-improvement at local YWCAs
developed into the course PRESENTATION OF SELF taught over 60
times at colleges and universities in New York and Pennsylvania,
1946 - 1959. When the Sutton family moved to Newport Beach,
California in 1959, Doris felt fortunate to be able to commute
to UCR, then the closest University of California campus.
